ITEM: Median income before taxes in 1969 was $6,700 for fami­ lies headed by a person under 25 years old, about 42 percent higher for families with heads 25 to 34 years and up another 16 percent for those aged 35 to 44. ITEM: Modern tapestry will be­ come increasingly 'popular as an upholstery fabric choice for fall. Velvet, however, will still be the number one fabric preference of consumers. Many people spend their work­ ing years sett ing aside as much money as possible, with a dream in mind - owning and operating a business. This is t ruly an Ameri­ can dream. People who work as bricklayers, secretaries, office managers, telephone repairmen, or lawyers, are l ikely to have set their sights on different busines­ ses. Some may be interested in running a motel or restaurant, or some may want to turn a hobby into a full- t ime career, such as a camera shop or fabric store. But there are some words of advice for those who have sucli a dream: proceed with utmost cau­ tion. You've worked hard for your savings, so be careful you don' t run out and invest your money in the first business that comes along. Take your t ime and investigate the si tuation. A motel can become a disaster area if a j iew super-highway takes the traffic elsewhere. A small camera shop can easily go down the drain if large discount stores with camera departments and lower prices move nearby. There is more to the restaurant business than just cooking food - you've got to be able to at tract people to come into your restaurant and then make sure that they' l l be coming back for future meals. If you really want your dream to become a reali ty, search for a bu-iness very carefully. Make syre you are gett ing into a good business, one with a future. Re­ member, when you make a mistake with your own business, i t can be an expensive one! Before you can get out from under, you may lose more than your nest egg; you may obligate some of your future re t ire mint income. Don't jump into things other­ wise you might be happier just staying home, playing golf , or going fishing. Todo/s Health News Published by the American Medical Association Remember your mother-in-law's last visit? She had a headache from the bus ride and you had no aspirin. Then your son fell and scraped his knee, a half-hour after you used up all the cotton gauze making a costume for the school play. And what next? Your hus­ band came home early with a "friend": the flu bug. So then the car wouldn't start, but it didn't matter because the drug store was closed, anyway. Well, you might not have been able to avert all of these crises. Still, you could have been better prepared. According to Howard C. Mofenson, M.D., chairman of the American Academy of Pedia­ tric's Committee on Accident Pre­ vention, being prepared means having on hand a fresh supply of medications for treating common ailments. Here's what Dr. Mofenson sug­ gests be kept in the home for meeting most ordinary family emergencies: • Petroleum jelly, as a sooth­ ing ointment. • Gauze compresses, tape, and Band-Aids. • Fever thermometer (rectal for children to age seven). • Nose drops, in small con­ tainers and low dosages. • Cough control and expecto- "**ant compound containing gly­ ceryl guaiacolate. • Small bottle of regular aspi­ rin and one 36-tablet bottle of baby aspirin if there are children in the house. • Syrup of Ipecac to induce vomiting in case of an overdose of medicine or poisoning (There are some poisonings where use of Ipecac is contraindicated; read the label carefully/before using). The doctor also recommends having available a bathroom scale to measure any dehydration of diarrhea patients (children espe­ cially should not lose more than 10 percent of their body weight or the result could be serious), tweezers and alcohol for splinter removal, a written summary of the children's allergies and drug sensitivities, and a folder on emer­ gency procedures (available from the American Academy of Pedia­ trics, 1801 Hinman Ave., Evans- ton, 111. 60201). A preparation containing kaolin and pectin to control very mild diarrhea can also be kept on hand. But Dr. Mofenson cautions, all medications do not have the same effect on all people. He advises using them only when absolutely necessary, reading the instructions carefully -- and following them. Also, says the doctor, make sure the medications will be there when needed. Medicine chests, he goes on, are for toothpaste and cosmetics. First aid supplies should be kept in locked, dark containers specifically earmarked for that purpose, so that a medi­ cation meant to help heal isn't accidentally used to poison.
